Wondering which roll-off fits your job? At Dumpster & Roll-Off Container Rental, we serve Carrollton with 10-, 20-, 30-, and 40-yard sizes; we use a precise hooklift for placement—plus, we handle every swap out with care for your property.

Compare sizes

Most projects in the Carrollton area fit one of four standard roll-off sizes: the right choice depends on the volume of debris, the weight of the load; and the room for a container.

10-yard Dumpster

  • Dimensions: 15 ft long, 8 ft wide, roughly 3.5 ft tall
  • Capacity: about 3 pickup truck loads, 2,000 lb weight limit
  • Driveway fit: a single car length, easy placement on tight lots

The 10-yard bin handles the usual small jobs around Carrollton: garage cleanouts, attic clear-outs, or single-room remodels. We set the container on driveway boards to protect your apron, and the 2,000-pound weight limit suits a typical household's worth of packed boxes and debris.

A 10-yard roll-off is ideal for heavy C&D debris; the call is simple: dense tonnage from shingles or concrete fills a container before the volume looks full. Use this for a single-story roof tear-off, whereas yard debris container choices handle lighter loads in a yard.

A matte-black 20-yard roll-off dumpster placed alongside a mid-renovation Carrollton home directly on the asphalt driveway, with framing materials and torn-off shingles staged neatly nearby.

20-yard Dumpster

  • Dimensions: 22 ft long, 7 ft wide, roughly 4.5 ft tall
  • Capacity: about 6 pickup truck loads, 4,000 lb weight limit
  • Driveway fit: two car lengths, still comfortable on most residential drives

A 20-yard dumpster is a good fit for several projects in the Carrollton metro: whole-house decluttering, large flooring jobs, and roof tear-offs. The 22-foot length fits on your residential driveway; the 4,000-pound rating handles mixed shingles with framing scrap.

The 20-Yard Container handles whole-house decluttering, roof tear-offs, and week-long remodels in one load for a single, clean swap-out. It’s sized to avoid weight-limit surprises and keeps the driveway clear after the crew’s done. Call (214) 441-6299

A matte-black 30-yard roll-off dumpster positioned at a Carrollton residential addition jobsite, with framing lumber and drywall scraps loaded through the open swinging rear doors.

30-yard Dumpster

  • Dimensions: 22 ft long, 7 ft wide, roughly 6 ft tall
  • Capacity: about 9 pickup truck loads, 6,000 lb weight limit
  • Driveway fit: two car lengths plus extra height — confirm overhead clearance

The 30-yard dumpster is built for major projects in Carrollton: it handles framing scrap and heavy debris. This container pairs well with our residential driveway dumpster rental options for multi-week cleanouts; the taller walls provide the volume you need.

The 30-Yard Roll-Off Container handles Carrollton home additions, full-kitchen remodels, and weeklong job-site debris efficiently.

A matte-black 40-yard roll-off dumpster staged on a large Carrollton commercial construction lot, with a hooklift delivery truck parked alongside under bright midday sky.

40-yard Dumpster

  • Dimensions: 22 ft long, 8 ft wide, roughly 8 ft tall
  • Capacity: about 12 pickup truck loads, 8,000 lb weight limit
  • Driveway fit: best for commercial job sites but too tall for most residential driveways

The 40-yard container handles new construction and large demolition in the Carrollton area: we drop the unit with a hooklift truck—the 8,000-pound rating covers your bulky mixed debris to keep the job moving without a second haul.

The 40-yard roll-off is built for new construction and large commercial projects: crews often add a small yard-debris bin when they clear the site in parallel with the main build.

Reinforced Concrete and Heavy-debris Containers

Heavy material jobs in Carrollton require a reinforced lowboy: concrete, brick, asphalt, and packed soil. These are vastly different from a roofing tear-off square sizing project—since 10,000 pounds is the max capacity. Follow EPA construction and demolition material management standards when loading the container for your site.

We always set the lowboy on driveway boards before any material hits the floor: this protects your concrete from damage. If the job mixes demolition concrete with a home tear-out — we pair the lowboy with a standard residential roll-off container.

Choosing the Right Roll-off Size for Your Project

Which size fits your project? Choosing the right container depends on three factors: the volume of debris, the weight, and where the roll-off sits in Carrollton. A 10-yard or 20-yard works for most; a 30-yard is for remodels; large demolitions need a 40-yard or our jobsite construction debris containers.

Estimate by debris type, not just volume

Heavy C&D debris like concrete fills the container by the tonnage of masonry before reaching the rim: volume dictates capacity for lighter household junk; size the box to handle the limit you hit first.

Check your driveway and overhead clearance

A 10-yard or 20-yard dumpster fits on most residential drives: a 30-yard container needs overhead clearance for the truck mast; a 40-yard belongs in a commercial lot. Send a photo of your space to our dispatcher for confirmation.
